In a world in which advanced communication technologies have made
the reporting of disasters and conflicts (also in the form of
breaking news) a familiar and 'normalised' activity, the
information we present here about television news reporting of the
2003 war in Iraq has implications that go beyond this particular
conflict. Evaluation and Stance in War News functions as a tool kit
for the critical evaluation of language in the news, both as raw
data in need of interpretation and as carefully packaged products
of 'information management' in need of 'unpacking'. The chapters
offer an array of theoretical and empirical instruments for
revealing, identifying, sifting, weighing and connecting patterns
of language use that construct messages. These messages carry with
them world views and value systems that can either create an ever
wider divide or serve to build bridges between peoples and
countries.
